The right-wing government of Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma looks likely once again to form the government in Riga following parliamentary elections on Saturday. The prime minister’s declared goals are a continuation of severe austerity measures and an intensification of the confrontation with Russia.
As in 2010, the party with the largest vote was the pro-Russian Harmony Centre led by Riga mayor Nils Usakovs, which won 23 percent of the vote. In 2011, it received 28 percent of the vote. The members of the right-wing government coalition—Straujuma’s Unity Party, the nationalist National Alliance, and the Union of Greens and Farmers—together won 60 percent.
